Adoption Is Not A Cure

November 12, 2022November 12, 2022Leave a comment

November is National Adoption Awareness Month. We adopted back in March and if there is one thing I would want everyone to understand it is that adoption is not the cure for childhood trauma. Children are resilient, but that should never be said when it comes to the trauma their little bodies have experienced. The … Continue reading Adoption Is Not A Cure

Practice Gratitude

My bonus daughter, whom I adore, bought me this for my birthday. I try to write in it every night and some nights it’s hard after a challenging day. Driving to work this morning I was sobbing after a hard morning with a dysregulated kiddo. I couldn’t focus on anything. My brain knows if I … Continue reading Practice Gratitude

Always In My Heart

August 26, 2022Leave a comment

Going through old photographs brings out a multitude of emotions and a flood of tears. Not one day goes by I do no think of pappy and the influence he had on not just my life but so many others. You cannot walk into our home without seeing something pappy has made. His presence is … Continue reading Always In My Heart

Reunification Should Not Come First

June 21, 20221 Comment

When I first saw the image below, it honestly made me angry. The system is broken in MANY ways and this is one of them. The first focus should ALWAYS be the children and their safety. When we force reunification quickly, we are often putting children right back in harms way causing even more trauma. … Continue reading Reunification Should Not Come First

Foster Care Awareness Month-A Broken System

May 25, 2022August 20, 2022Leave a comment

The system is broken and there is a lot of red tape. When I think of our experience over the past two years, I am still speechless. We hear so much in the media about pro-life, When does pro-life start including the children lost in a very messy and very broken system? When do the … Continue reading Foster Care Awareness Month-A Broken System

What 2021 Taught Me

December 10, 20212 Comments

1. Saying Yes to God can be the right thing but still be hard on your heart during the unknown. 2. I was placing my identity in a job I loved without realizing it. 3. If we hold too tightly to jobs, things, people etc.…God has a way of reminding us it ALL belongs to … Continue reading What 2021 Taught Me

Our Unexpected Thanksgiving Blessing

November 22, 2021Leave a comment

This Thanksgiving looks different this year, because we said yes to God. I am often asked by friends and family if we know what we are doing. In the beginning I was offended by this question because of course we knew what we were doing, didn’t we? When this question is asked now, most of … Continue reading Our Unexpected Thanksgiving Blessing

Breaking Free from Domestic Violence

October 2, 2020October 2, 20201 Comment

Four years living with a narcissist were the darkest, loneliest and most terrifying years of my life.   Almost nine years later sharing my story isn’t any easier but necessary. If I can help one person realize their self worth and find the strength within to leave their situation, then the pain I revisit while sharing … Continue reading Breaking Free from Domestic Violence

Yes, You Can

February 27, 2020February 27, 2020Leave a comment

For those of you that have just met me within the last 8 years, you have not had the inside look of the hot mess I was. You are seeing a girl living out a dream, surrounded by some amazing and supportive people, living her absolute best life. This did not happen overnight, or even … Continue reading Yes, You Can
